Non-Caliber Marked Lowers Q

[curraheeguns]

I bought a S&W M&P 15 lower today because it is not caliber marked and I plan to make it my 9mm SBR project.

When I do the name,city,state engraving do I need to have a caliber engraved also or can I leave it non-marked?

Here is an example of what it looks like now.

Thanks!!

That's interesting; I've not seen one like that before. I thought the manufacturer was required to include some kind of caliber marking, even if it was "MULTI".

For Form 1 purposes, I believe you'd still be OK to just have to engrave the name/city/state.

I had never seen them either. Thats why I was pleasantly suprised to find them on gunbroker. I didn't really like the MULTI marking.

These non-marked ones are all over gunbroker.

Well I guess the question about the non-marked reciever is a null and void now!!!

What is it they say and a fool and his $$$$$$?????

I have always been under the impression that as long as it is marked on the barrel, you are good to go. If I recall correctly, the firearm needs to be marked, not necessarily the receiver.

Correct, but with AR-15, the lower IS the firearm so shouldn't it be marked as well?

Info can be marked on the barrel. There is no requirement for caliber though.
